Volume 2 Chapter 10 – Evil Young Lady

The shopkeeper directed his keen eyes at the two who entered his store, checking them out from top to bottom in an instant.

Black hair and unfamiliar clothes—definitely someone from another country.

Even so, this city was exceptionally tolerant of foreigners. It could be said that this was natural since this city was built on trade and had a generally bright atmosphere as well.

But what caused the shopkeeper to furrow his brow was the child behind the man.

The child was dressed only a little better than a beggar. The difference between the child and the man before him was difficult to ignore.

(A slave…?)

Even if he was a foreigner, having a slave was bad.

Normally, they would be left to stand by outside the city or left in the care of someone; it was a tacit understanding to make sure owning one wasn’t obvious.

This guest’s attire was high class, but perhaps he was unaware of those unspoken rules?

“Welcome, what would you be looking for today?”

Plastering a radiant business smile on his face, he spoke to the man.

He needed to get a sense of him during their conversation and point out this matter. The shopkeeper didn’t want any repercussions coming to his store.

“Sorry, but can you please get some clothes ready that will suit this kid.”

“For this sla, no…guest here…?”

“Yeah? That’s right.”

Prepare clothes for a slave?

Perhaps the man was the type to enjoy that sort of thing. To buy nice clothes and then forcefully rip… No, there was probably no need to put that much thought into the clothes.

Business was business, so as long as the man was willing to pay, he didn’t need to pry into this matter. He just had to make sure that the child wasn’t a slave.

“I’m no good at choosing clothes for others, so I’ll leave it to a pro.”

Saying so, the man took out a leather pouch from his pocket.

At a glance, it looked fairly heavy. The shopkeeper reflexively gulped.

Perhaps this client might even drop a whole gold coin here? Such an indecent thought passed through his mind.

“This one… is the biggest. Let’s go with this.”

He was taken aback at what the man casually took out.

It seemed as if the interior of the shop got brighter as he took it out—a “large” gold coin.

“Wha-… S, Sir… choose with that…?”

“Yeah….? Is it not enough?”

“Perish the thought! Right away, right away, we will prepare everything!”

He called all of the store employees to escort the “noble young lady” who was looking curiously around the store. Just in case, he sent orders for the employees who were on holiday to be called in while simultaneously having drinks prepared.

This may be the hardest that his brain had ever worked in his life.

“And, I’d like to smoke, so I’d like an ashtray.”

“Use my hand! Please use my hand to put your ashes in!”

“That’s creepy-! Nothing like that, just a normal ashtray and a chair to sit in.”

“Use my back! Please use my back to sit on!”

“That’s creepy-! What the hell is going on with this store!?”

While the two were going through an infinite loop, Aku was escorted by the store employees to be surrounded by an enormous amount of clothes.

■□■□

The interior of the store was filled with a liveliness it had never seen before.

Even those who had the day off had been called in and five employees were rushing here and there.

They attended to Aku, bringing various clothes, accessories, and hats, causing a great commotion

This was only natural after all, as the demon lord had brought out a “large gold coin.”

With the exception of the “Lambda Holy Coins” left behind by the Cherub, this was the most valuable currency. Large gold coins likely wouldn’t be seen unless the transaction involved the type of large firms that could represent a country.

Because the shopkeeper decided to splurge and told the employees that those who brought clothes Aku liked would receive a special bonus of one silver coin, the eyes of the employees shone with a fiery light.

Being unaware of what was going on, the demon lord looked out of the window and relaxed while overlooking the scenery of the lively Main Street.

It seemed that he didn’t dislike the liveliness.

He had the appearance that said he was seriously taking in the fact that he had actually come to another world. After a little while, the curtain behind him was opened, and Aku appeared.

well that side kick was a little annoying on how she kept calling MC demon lord which keeps giving him a bad rep further. but i love how funny the names are of the places. looking forward to more amusing chapters in the future
